Akira offers Kristen Stewart a role in the film
Kristen Stewart has been offered the lead female role in Akira. Twitch reports that the Twilight actress has been been offered a role in the film being directed by Jaume Collet-Sera. She would star alongside the already attached Garrett Hedlund, Helena Bonham Carter and Gary Oldman. Keira Knightley and Ezra Miller have also been offered roles, with Knightley also offered the role of Kei and Miller offered the role of Kaneda. The film is in the adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo’s classic manga. If she accepts the role then she would play Kei, “a young medium who becomes the love interest for Kaneda (Hedlund)”
The film depicts a dystopian Neo-Tokyo in 2019. The plot focuses on biker Tetsuo Shima and his psychic powers and the biker gang member Shotaro Kaneda, who tries to prevent Tetsuo from releasing the dangerous psychic Akira.
Kristin Stewart looks really good as a different kind of Snow White in the Snow White and the Huntsman film and she has reached acclaim outside the Twilight films with movies like Meet the Rileys, Adventureland and The Runaways. I think she is a solid actress and not knowing anything about Akira, I think she would be good in the film in that role. I am excited to see this movie considering I do not know much about it or the series it seems like a very interesting plot. I just hope it has a great script.
